You might ask yourself, why we do this. Why do we go to the expense, the time investment, the trouble? Why would we stand out in the weather, just to put on this drama for you? It is because Jesus Christ has made a dramatic difference in each of our lives. Each of us discovered at some point that God's love for us, all of us was amazing, absolutely free a gift that we did not deserve. Recognizing God's love for us as individuals has made all the difference in our lives. We just want to give people who might never have given Jesus a thought a chance to stop and consider His-story.

No one is perfect, each of us have missed the mark. No one has ever been perfect, that is until Jesus Christ. He came to earth, lived a perfect life, willingly suffered and died to cover (pay) for our sins, our imperfections. He rose from the grave, leaving it completely empty. He is in heaven today. He did this to bridge the gap between man and God. The gap we could not bridge ourselves. He loves us so much He couldn't stand eternity without giving us a way to be there with Him.

The question for each of us is what are we going to do with Jesus? What will we do with the gift He is offering? You can accept it or reject it. The choice is all yours. Acceptance brings peace with God.

It is simple! Its perfect! In fact God's perfect plan is accessible to everyone. If you admit, your less-than-perfect (sinful) condition before God and believe that Jesus loves you so much He died for your sins, then Jesus will be your Savior! Your sins will be forgiven, and you will be at peace with God -- both in the here-and-now and later in heaven too. If you have never accepted Jesus as your Savior and desire to do so, its really very simple:

• Tell God you know you are not perfect and you know your sin separates you from Him.
• Tell God you realize He loves you and believe that Jesus died for your sins.
• Tell God you accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord.
